12 Kea Street Piopio, Waitomo District

Step inside Saint Mary's Church and discover an accommodation experience unlike anything else in Piopio. Rich in character, beautifully renovated and surrounded by rural views, this unique property effortlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort.

Originally built in the 1920s, the church has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a sophisticated yet inviting retreat. Soaring ceilings, beautifully crafted timber beams and polished timber floors create an incredible sense of space, while the tranquil setting provides the perfect escape from the everyday.

The accommodation is beautifully appointed, with two separate queen sized bedrooms positioned just off the entrance, each offering a warm and stylish place to unwind. At the heart of the property is the impressive open plan living space, where the original character of the building takes centre stage. A heat pump and electric fireplace provide year round comfort, while the dining area flows effortlessly outdoors to a covered entertaining space - perfect for long lunches, evening drinks or simply soaking up the peaceful surroundings.

The modern kitchen is both practical and stylish, complete with gas hot water and a convenient slider window, while the upgraded bathroom features a new contemporary timber vanity, shower and toilet.

Outside, immaculate low maintenance gardens frame the property, complemented by a rural outlook and a shed with ample room to accommodate a motorhome. A paddock to the rear provides additional versatility for pets, while established fruit trees line the boundary.

And it's not just an accommodation destination. Saint Mary's offers endless possibilities - from a boutique short stay retreat or longer term accommodation, to a beautifully intimate wedding ceremony venue, meeting or event space, or even a truly unique home for those looking to make something special their own.

The property has been meticulously cared for by the current vendors, with its immaculate presentation reflecting the pride and care they have taken in making it their home.

Positioned just off State Highway 3 in the heart of Piopio, you're perfectly placed to enjoy some of the Waikato's most sought after attractions. The adventure playgrounds of Waitomo and the Timber Trail are within easy reach, while Piopio's renowned Fat Pigeon Cafe and Night Owl Bar & Eatery are only a leisurely stroll away.

Unique, beautifully presented and full of possibility, Saint Mary's is far more than accommodation - it's an experience.
